Well, the Bible does say "it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven", so I'm somewhat at a loss to see how
any wealthy person can claim to be a Christian - they are certainly
not following the tenets of Jesus' teaching, which tells them to give away all their possessions!
